And the previous interim athletic director as well.

You are correct with 403

You are correct with 403 bleacher seats.  Section 130 is where the Bee-Line stands, and that is another 250 seats.  So 653 students in the lower bowl.  By comparison, I think the Izzone has about 1,500 lower bowl seats in Breslin.

I can’t believe Charles Matthews didn’t come up at all during the conversation with Calipari!

Another great match for Carly

Another great match for Carly Skjodt, who plays all six rotations.  18 kills and 11 digs, she is carrying this team offensively but got some help today.

I'd love for Michigan to become a basketball school more than anything but you can't undo 150 years of Football history.  Unfortunately basketball will always be a fair-weather fan sport in Ann Arbor.

Crisler Center will be very empty to start the season as it usually is.  Hopefully if the Maui Tournament goes well they can build momentum and fan interest for the Saturday afternoon games at Crisler against Indiana and UCLA in early December.

His bio on Instagram says "Michigan '18" so it looks like he'll be graduating in April (in 3.5 years as he was an early enrollee).  Which means he can grad transfer somewhere with two years of eligibility remaining.

For the most part, all the mid-week games against your travel partner are played as a single day doubleheader.  Only Michigan/Michigan State do a home and home with the games played in different weeks.

Admission to field hockey games is free, but that's a good idea.

Johnny Slater with a solo home run to right center field!  3-0 Michigan.

2 strikeouts for Oliver Jaskie in a 1-2-3 inning.  Michigan will come up to bat in the top of the 2nd leading 2-0.

FGCU's ace pitcher Kutter Crawford threw 38 pitches in that first inning.  A very good sign for Michigan already up 2-0.

First edition of the baseball RPI is also out.  Of note:

Different sport, but Kenny

Different sport, but Kenny Allen had some struggles kicking when he became the punter and kicker this past season.  But he managed to get his field goal kicking back on track.  Hopefully Blanco can do the same with her batting.

Michigan moved up in

Michigan moved up in Lunardi's bracket because his previous edition had come out Thursday morning, before Michigan beat Wisconsin.

I think the concern isn't so

I think the concern isn't so much the state of the team overall.

 

Many thousands of fans watched their first Michigan women's basketball game ever, and the team had their worst performance of the season.  So this was a missed opportunity to gain a lot of new fans and increase the attendance in the long run.

Believe it or not, attendance

Believe it or not, attendance at Yost is acutually UP this season

I don't think Warde is losing sleep over the lack of hockey discussion on MGoBlog.

So I looked up the WBB attendance record and it's 5,991 from the 2011 Michigan State game. Looked at the photo gallery for that game and there were no curtains down.

You're probably right. Attendance for OSU game is always above the 2,000 capacity of the new stadium.

People who can't wait for Charles Matthews to replace Zak Irvin:

Did it ever occur to you that a guy who scored 1.7 PPG at Kentucky might be worse than Irvin is?

Right now we don't want Maryland or Ohio State.

But this team's trajectory over the past few seasons is quite the opposite of Beilein's team.
